Concerns over immigration enforcement have led to the cancellation or scaling down of Cinco de Mayo celebrations in multiple U.S. cities, with community leaders citing growing unease over possible ICE raids and deportations.

The Israel Defense Forces launched a series of large-scale airstrikes on Sanaa International Airport in Yemen on Tuesday afternoon, the military confirmed.
“A short time ago, the Air Force attacked and destroyed infrastructure of the Houthi terrorist organization at the main airport in the Sanaa area, leading to its complete shutdown. This came after the Houthi terrorist organization fired on Ben-Gurion Airport,” according to a statement.

A new salmonella outbreak linked to backyard poultry has sickened at least seven people in six states, health officials said Monday. Two cases were identified in Missouri, and one each in Florida, Illinois, South Dakota, Utah and Wisconsin, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said. People got sick in February and March of this year, the CDC said. They all had the same strain of salmonella — a version that has been traced to hatcheries in the past. The investigation is continuing, health officials said. Salmonella bacteria cause about 1.35 million infections in the United States every year, and recent outbreaks have been tied to sources such as cucumbers, eggs, unpasteurized milk, fresh basil, geckos and pet bearded dragons.
